I am using ConfigAPIClient to retrieve cameras from Milestone, the client have around 2000 cameras, it is taking more than 3 minutes to load the cameras.

Hello,

I need to select specific cameras in the plugin to specify them as LPR camera ,is there any other option to get the cameras from milestone that is faster then the method used on the config api client sample? This method is taking too much time to load on the client machine ( 3.5 minutes for 2000 cameras)

Another solution for me will be if i can search directly for the camera in the sdk by the camera name

best regards,

Gaby

You might want to try Configuration Access sample instead of ConfigAPI Client sample. I think this sample might be faster than the ConfigAPI Client.

Please see the link below -

In the sample, there is code that you can search for one camera with FQID, please refer Configuration.Instance.GetItem method in OnAfterSelect in Program.cs file.
